The mechanisms remain unknown.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study examined several possible mechanisms to understand this paradox.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PMN were isolated from sputum and blood of subjects with and without CF or non-CF bronchiectasis for phagocytic assays. HNP isolated from patients with CF were used to stimulate healthy PMN followed by phagocytic tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Measurements and Main Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PMN isolated from the sputum of the bronchiectatic patients display defective phagocytosis that correlated with high concentrations of HNP in the lung. When healthy PMN were incubated with HNP, decreased phagocytic capacity was observed in association with depressed surface Fc\u03b3 RIII, actin-filament remodeling, enhanced intracellular Ca2+, and degranulation. Treatment of PMN with an intracellular Ca2+ blocker or \u03b11-proteinase inhibitor to attenuate the activity of HNP largely prevented the HNP-induced phagocytic deficiency. Intratracheal instillation of HNP in Pallid mice (genetically deficient in \u03b11-proteinase inhibitor) resulted in a greater PMN lung infiltration and phagocytic deficiency compared with wild-type mice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HNP or PMN alone exert antimicrobial ability, which was lost as a result of their interaction.
